For the periodic posting of informational posts and FAQ files related to
groups in the misc.kids hierarchy. Occasional one-time announcements
of interest to misc.kids readers (such as juvenile product recall,
misc.kids picnics or photoalbums) may be crossposted here from misc.kids
(and/or the appropriate subgroup(s)). However, as a low volume
newsgroup, birth announcements, web page announcements, etc. are not
appropriate for this group. Posts to this group should be informational;
discussion and questions will not appear here. No advertising. Posters
should be aware that the moderator cannot do distributions for other
regions, and that there may be moderation delays.

Below I answer the most common questions that come up regarding what postings
are acceptable in misc.kids.info.

Q1. What are the requirements for periodic posts (FAQs) in this group?
Q2. What types of announcements are appropriate for this group?
Q3. Where can I find misc.kids FAQs that don't appear here, or which have
expired at my site?
Q4. If I can't post it here, where can I post it?

Q1. What are the requirements for periodic posts (FAQs) in this group?

A1. FAQs in this group have no format requirements. They may be Q/A,
compilations of postings from misc.kids on a topic, or anything
else. They should not include privately emailed text without the
permission of the author.

Content-wise, they must have some relevance to parenting, children,
pregnancy, etc. They must either present all sides of any
controversial issue broached, or clearly indicate that they are
written from one particular point of view. They must be
non-commercial -- product reviews from unaffiliated consumers are
acceptable, but a FAQ promoting any product will not be accepted.

There are two administrative requirements for FAQs in this newsgroup:

1) They must be listed in the misc.kids FAQ index. Contact Maureen
Vahey ).
